A picture of an immigrant family at Ellis Island looking over the bay brings at the statue conveys a sense of anticipation and apprehension.
One Russian immigrant stated"Is this the SOL? So tiny lost in the noise of the harbor and framed against the soaring skyscapers of the Wall Street banks. Was this powerless, tiny figure shrinking before the gigantic bulidings.Is this the SOL we pictured to ourselves.( i guess she wasn't impressed with the statue. She wasn't the only one. Many other people were unmipressed because they expected more than what they got.)
Someone called the SOL a great green figure.
An italian american publication thought that beneath her cloth, there stood a wicked and insidious.
Giuseppe Iannarelli answered to Wilson's question as to what immigarnts think whenthey face the SOL.
His answer is, when the italians enter this. They see the SOL.They breathe and think freely at last they have left the strict government and are in the land of the free. Shortly they realize their mistake and become capitalists who owe them soul and body.
The statue was a also a symbol of french alliance.
The SOL was also a way for Americans to make money for World War I.
Primary Sources
In the document I read, a chinese woamn finds an old article about the fund for the pedestal used beneath the SOL.Chinese Americans feel that the SOL represents liberty for all men in all nations except China. They feel that it is a n insult to have them pay for something that it is not for them. That doesn't include them. Because the French doesnt like the Chinese and it was a present to America from FranCE. They say that they will make a graven image and bow down to it.
My personal reflection and understanding of this is that the SOL doesnt appeal to the chinese because they feel that it doesnt include and when they think of it it is not something they are a part of. They feel neglected and abandoned.
